A rainbow of colour

I have always wanted a visual way of displaying my threads so they are easy to access as well as beautiful to look at. My husband took this as a challenge and created a gorgeous thread rack out of up-cycled wood and bits n bobs. I love it and it warms my heart every time I see it....... it was fun loading my boxed-up threads onto the display and seeing the colour palette develop in front of my eyes. The threads are cottons and embroidery threads and the rich colours 'sing'. It has pride of place on my sewing room wall.
